CPU bottleneck help

[Oscar Wiley]

Hey guys, I just got my PC last week, I custom built it on Cyberpower. I'm really worried that my CPU will Bottleneck my GPU.

CPU: Intel Core i7 4770k 4.3 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7990

So will it bottleneck my GPU? I'm hoping that I will be able to play games ultra 1080p. Only one monitor because I'm just that greedy with FPS. Thanks for the answers guy.

you could play on ultra with a single 7950 and an i3 in most cases, you'll have way more FPS than your monitor can utilize...i think any CPU is the bottleneck in a setup with two high end GPU's...that doesn't mean you won't get crazy performance...or even that you'll be bumping up against your CPU's limits (because you wont)...just that the CPU would be the first thing to max if you were somehow able to push the rig that far.

That won't bottleneck your system at all. You could run an i3 on that and it would be good to go. I would have personally gone with a 4670k, but that's just me. As long as you have an iX, you won't bottleneck your system assuming you have your OS on a good ssd. Hard drives are the main bottleneck in today's pcs more than anything else.

nope. your cpu won't be a bottleneck.

I have 2 TB worth of HDD for the guy wondering, I also have another HDD with the same, so around 4000 GB
